REVIEW – By now, I’ve reviewed enough vacuum cleaners to get a sense of what works (for our house) and what doesn’t. In that time, I’ve concluded a few things. We avoid robot vacuum cleaners. We have pets and—do I need to explain? We’ve also moved on from corded vacuums. Yes, the plug-in canister cleaners […]

REVIEW – The maintenance of a pool and its equipment is the key to avoiding costly and unnecessary expenses. I’m now a year into owning my first pool and still learning, but I can say that robot vacuums can absolutely lighten the lift. Aiper recently sent their newest Seagull SE to review and there’s a
REVIEW – Pressure washing the driveway is an annual event where I live. A year’s worth of dust and dirt from all the red clay we have around here gives my pavement a rather reddish, muddy look, something that’s definitely not very attractive. Every fall I haul out the pressure washer, fill it up with

REVIEW – I’ve been dragging my feet to buy a pressure washer for quite a while because I haven’t wanted to deal with tools that are powered by gasoline. Gas is smelly, expensive, and just not convenient for me to buy because I drive a MINI Cooper and refuse to carry a smelly gas can

REVIEW – I’m always looking for gadgets that make my household chores faster and easier. The idea of a vacuum and mop combo, which would theoretically cut in half the time it takes to clean my floors, is an exciting prospect. I’ve tested other wet/dry vacs, but the INSE W5 stood out because it’s cordless,

REVIEW – I recently wrote a news post about the Morus Zero portable clothes dryer which according to the Morus website, uses Vacuum+ technology to dry clothes quickly. The website also states that it uses ultraviolet (UV) light to sterilize clothes. Gadgeteer readers responded to my news post saying that the Morus Zero is a

REVIEW – Have you ever been curious about whether your UV sterilization devices are using real UVC light to kill germs? I have. Since you can’t see UVC light, I sought out an inexpensive way to test for this and found a website that said you can use a Quantadose Rapid UVGI (ultraviolet germicidal irradiation)
REVIEW – Odor. Stink. Smell. Stench. Whatever you call it, we all eventually wind up with things that smell awful. Here in hot and humid Central Florida, that happens simply by spending time outdoors. A round of golf can turn golf shoes and a hat into nearly toxic smell producers. At times, my hats get so bad

REVIEW – As soon as the summer starts, I start cleaning and power washing all of the surfaces that have been dirtied by the elements of the winter season.

REVIEW – I remember a time when having the carpets cleaned was an event. We were told to stay out of the house for the entirety of a Saturday and not to come back until it was dark. 12-year-old me was already on my bike by first light. Coming home was surreal; any moveable furniture

NEWS – It feels like we’ve reviewed hundreds of robot vacuums and I’m not going to diss them because I actually have 3 of them in my house! I rarely use an old-school corded vacuum anymore. But there are many times when a robot vacuum is overkill for small cleaning tasks. That’s where the Vabroom

REVIEW – The title of this review pretty much says it all—how does anyone live without a pressure washer? I’ve used various pressure washers over the years. It’s because I live in hot—and very humid—Central Florida that this question comes up. If certain parts of a house—siding, decking, or a driveway—are not periodically cleaned, gross

REVIEW – Pressure washers are both a blessing and a curse. They perform very well cleaning up a muddy or bug-goo-covered vehicle, keeping a garage floor squeaky clean, or flushing a hard winter’s grime away from vinyl siding, but… setting them up can be time-consuming and cumbersome. Thankfully, Giraffe Tools has addressed nearly all of
